I didn't read the complete thread, please excuse if you already went through this steps.
Long Li, I assume your sound card works under Win. and you already booted a recent Knoppix and it doesn't work either. Then, google the kernel lists for your sound chip. You probably need to know the exact revision number. Ensure this also by Win system tools, preferably provided by the laptop company, and BIOS (or even visually). Prepare to compile a custom test kernel with SND_VIA82XX, and PCI Bus Debugging and Sound Driver Debugging enabled, also SND_VERBOSE_PROCFS. (Try to google a proper config template for your machine). Configure PCI Bus and Device Drivers -> DMA Engine settings. You can probably enable PCI Express. Some VIA chips are known to be icky, but there are workarounds which can be enabled in the kernel config and via module-loading parameters. If Florian wasn't able to find a solution then it should be a real hard one ;) and you probably would need help/docu from the driver developers. Two of the Guys familiar with your chip are Karsten Wiese, and Jaroslav Kysela, try googling them on kernel.org. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
